The final leg of Alaska

---

It seems our Alaskan adventurers have survived their rafting trip. The low water levels meant there was quite a bit of raft carrying - not ideal, and a lot of paddling (220kms). They saw lots of beavers, otters and some moose but no bears. The scenery was apparently great but the weather was not by the sound of it with "just about everything but snow". It rained for a number of days and so they were wet and cold, more so by fallling in the river a few times too (Brian anyway). They returned safely to Fairbanks and then drove on down to Anchorage. They will be spending the last few days before Brian flies out on the Kenis Peninsula doing some "real white water rafting", fishing, hiking, camping and "what ever takes their fancy". Apparently the salmon are running... Only five days till I head to Moscow now so I suspect the next update will be from there! We will try and get some photos of the Alaskan leg of the journey on the blog once we meet up.
